Generates a random salt.
This function takes one optional argument - a keyword list (see below
for more details).
## Options
The following options are available:
* `:salt_len` - the length of the random salt
* the default is 16 bytes
* for more information, see the 'Salt length recommendations' section below
* `:format` - the length of the random salt
* the default is `:modular` (modular crypt format)
* the other available options are `:django` and `:hex`
## Examples
Here is an example of generating a salt with the default salt length and format:
Pbkdf2.Base.gen_salt()
To generate a different length salt:
Pbkdf2.Base.gen_salt(salt_len: 32)
And to generate a salt in Django output format:
Pbkdf2.Base.gen_salt(format: :django)
## Salt length recommendations
In most cases, 16 bytes is a suitable length for the salt.
It is not recommended to use a salt that is shorter than this
(see below for details and references).
According to the [Pbkdf2 standard](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8018),
the salt should be at least 8 bytes long, but according to [NIST
recommendations](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/SP/nistspecialpublication800-132.pdf),
the minimum salt length should be 16 bytes.

Hash a password using Pbkdf2.
## Options
There are four options (`rounds` can be used to override the value
in the config):
* `:rounds` - the number of rounds
* the amount of computation, given in number of iterations
* the default is 160_000
* this can also be set in the config file
* `:format` - the output format of the hash
* the default is `:modular` - modular crypt format
* the other available formats are:
* `:django` - the format used in django applications
* `:hex` - the hash is encoded in hexadecimal
* `:digest` - the sha algorithm that pbkdf2 will use
* the default is sha512
* `:length` - the length, in bytes, of the hash
* the default is 64 for sha512 and 32 for sha256
